Timed question, minimum before progressing was created by dcameron
Hi, Im hoping someone can help me.

I have a youtube video embedded in a survey that lasts 10 minutes. I would like to force respondents to sit through the entire ten minutes before they can progress to the next screen (where I have questions, etc.). Right now, it is possible to click "next" and move on without watching the whole video, and I would like to prevent that.

It would be fine to either a) automatically progress after the video is complete, or b) have respondents press the "next" button, after the 10 minutes has elapsed. Either is fine, I just want to make sure they play the whole video.

Is there an easy way to do this? I found this ( limesurvey.com/en/forum/development/9282...individual-questions ) but wasn't sure if it was the answer.

I only want to place this minimum time limit on one question, not the whole survey.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try adding something like this script to the source of a question on that page. It should hide the "Next" button for 10 minutes.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    $('#movenextbtn').hide();
 
    setTimeout(function() {
      $('#movenextbtn').show();
    }, 600000);
 
    });
</script>
Cheers,

Fantastic! It worked. Thanks very much, Tony. :)

Im assuming I can modify the timing by changing the 600000. Is 1 = 1/1000 of a second?

Thanks again!!

Yes, correct, JavaScript timeouts work in thousandths of seconds.

Great Tony, another javascript snippet that made it into my collection for useful samples...

@dcameron: yes, for 10 seconds you would write 10000 (the unit seems to be milliseconds)
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

This solution works quite well, as well as the one in the work around for a minimum time:
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...ng_forward_in_survey

However, if the questions on the page are mandatory, and the respondent forgets to answer one and click Next, then it seems like the clock is reset, and the respondent has to wait another "minimum time".

Is there a way to avoid this?
Thank you!

Try this. It should only hide the "Next" button if there are no mandatory question errors.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    if($('span.errormandatory').length == 0) {
      $('#movenextbtn').hide();
 
      setTimeout(function() {
        $('#movenextbtn').show();
      }, 600000);
    } 
    });
</script>
